Adverse Health Outcomes 3 Years after Radical Prostatectomy Compared with Men in the General Population: A Study from the Cancer Registry of Norway
In these population-based cohorts, 2 in 5 patients used pads 3 years after RP, compared to 1 in 20 Norms. Intercourse inability was reported by 4 of 5 patients compared to 1 of 2 Norms. PCa patients were associated with good/ fair QoL. Bilateral NSS significantly reduced the risk of AHOs, highlighting the importance of this approach. Function and bother are different dimensions of urinary and sexual AHOs and must be reported separately. The findings from this study should be considered when counselling patients before RP.
